Show Notes

According to recent figures from the International Transport Workers’ Federation, women currently make up fewer than 2% of the global maritime workforce. This statistic reflects how, historically, seafaring has been viewed as a male-dominated industry. 

In this episode we discuss why women may be less likely to pursue a career at sea and what more can be done to support women in the maritime industry.
